Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of planning in the parking problems of old apartments. Three old apartments in the Seoul metroplitan area were selected as case sites. Based on actual site visits and resident interviews, the severity of the parking problem and its solutions were verified. For old apartments, complaints from residents were minimized by allowing parking for a certain duration around the apartment complex. Although residents also used public spaces within the complex as parking spaces, there were limitations in handling the interests of residents regarding the increasing number of vehicles. Although remodeling can be an active solution, it must undergo a business procedure equivalent to reconstruction in accordance with the relevant laws. In the case of building a separate space for parking in the complex, the deregulation of space-related restrictions must be prioritized. Reconstruction, which residents prefer as a solution, cannot constitute a solution because the apartments must undergo a procedure called safety diagnosis. However, regardless of how serious the parking problem is, it cannot serve as justification for the reconstruction. The optimal alternative solution to the parking problems of old apartments shall be approached from the solutions listed in this study from more technical, engineering, and neutral plan perspectives.
